Another sponge bath and yes, I am still afraid to look so I am very glad that the entire breast is covered with the bandage. There is also another bandage covering the site of the lymph node surgery. What I cannot see won't scare me. I never thought that it would affect me so much but I really cannot look right now. The instructions say that I can remove the bandages the next day but there is no way I am doing it!
I'm back in a clean set of flannel pajamas and I get back on the couch. John and Sarah are my two very able nursemaids. Sarah is a Nazi about making sure that I don't move unnecessarily. Where did that child learn such tactics? Must be the German blood from both sides.
I get flowers from the people at work who know about the surgery ... that was really sweet. It's a pretty arrangement of daisies, mums and roses in a beautiful shade of orange in a square vase. I have to protect it from that crazy Cloudy ... she is not eating my pretty flowers!
The cards have started to arrive and Barbara has sent me a fleece blanket to comfort me during my treatment. I am touched and deeply grateful for my "Prayer Warriors" (thanks Jennifer for the term!) who are sending prayers from all over the world to God. I know he is listening ... I feel the comfort of those prayers.
